This one here folks is the Burren. That’s a quite huge karst landscape (300 sq km) which lies NW of Co Clare Ireland. The area is filled with megalithic tombs, deserted villages from the times of the famine and the like… you get the picture.

Ok, this one has a longer history. If you take a walk across the shore of the Mill Lake in Bucharest, Romania (Crangasi Neighbourhood) you will eventually come across this extraordinary cross.

During the Comunist times, instead of this artificial lake there was a well known cemetery and a church in the middle of it. Then, the communist builders came and said, the cemetery must be destroyed and the bones of the deceased people must be moved, so that we make here a big lake.

The people protested but they had no choice. The priest in that church also protested and announced that if the church and the cemetery are destroyed, he would hang himself. Nobody believed him. The next day after a series of harsh discussions, the builders came to see if everything was ready for the lake construction to begin (people had already moved the bones of their dead ones)

They found the priest, dead, hung in his own church, with a note he had left, explaining his protest against the communist actions and the fact that, for the sin of having taken his life, he will respond only to God.

I think God forgave him…

Anyways, this cross is made out of the metal cross on the top of that church (melted and made larger) – in 1986.

This is the end of my jogging path. This little cross is on the shore of Mill Lake (Lacul Morii) in Bucharest, Romania. It is the point from where you don’t really feel like going any further. Took the pictures at night. It is really creepy…

We are not PRO photographers.
We are just a few people who like to observe the strange, mysterious aspects of our everyday lives. And to take pictures. Mystery is good for health. A dark, forsaken house always increases the level of adrenalin. Feeling a little fear every now and then is also good: the universe has not yet revealed all its secrets!

When we were children, we liked to explore forests, caves, old houses, castles, old buildings, to hide, sneak, venture. Why would we stop now, that we’ve grown up?

The mysteries that enriched our childhood are still there: we just have to open our eyes and learn to see them again.

You can send us your pictures and their stories at the following email address:

The owners of this site are two very serious people who do not believe in such things as ghosts or haunted places (don't they?). However, we agree that there are moments in our lives when, if we look close enough, we can see the gates to something beyond our understanding.

If you want to join our team, here is what you have to do:
1. Send us an email about you
2. Send us the pictures of things you consider strange and unexplainable
3. Do not modify / alter the pictures you send in ANY way and always send them in maximum size.
4. Say when / where the picture was taken and why is it special. Add a few words, the story of it.
